Increasing population and economic activities:40% percent of the population lives in coastal shoreline counties. In 2013, these counties contributed 46% of the nation's GDP.

Accompanying impacts and risks:Port congestion, navigation hazards, flooding, shoreline erosion, pollution

Pressures are compounded by:Sea level rise, coastal storms,  tsunamis, and coastal development
